The summer of ‘13. Melissa Phillips has high hopes for it. She’s headed to Grandma Joelle’s house in New England with her two best friends to aid her with her cooking school for the summer. Melissa has a paper with her, a crazy list of things to do in one summer scrawled onto yellow notebook paper with pink pen that she wrote at 2 in the morning. One of the things that wasn’t on the list that she didn’t expect or plan to do was lose her MP3 player on the beach and be helped in finding it by a curly-haired boy. A curly-haired boy with dimples and brown eyes and that smile. Nor did she expect to find out that her grandma had hired said boy to work at the cooking school that summer. It’s a summer to remember. Beach, sun, a significant birthday party, dates and Brits, attics with unfindable pasta machines, a 10K race with a horrific ending, a wonderful summer romance that must mean something. Not what Melissa had planned to do along with the rest of her written list. But that doesn’t matter. The unplanned things are the best, aren’t they? The serendipitous kind?

When Toby breathes on Mama Inez's bird-shaped invitations, giving them the power to fly, plans for the Serendipity Market begin. Soon, eleven honored guests travel from afar and make their way to the storytellers' tent to share their stories. Each tale proves what Mama Inez knows—that magic is everywhere. Sometimes it shows itself subtly—a ray of sun glinting on a gold coin, or a girl picking a rose without getting pricked by the thorn—and sometimes it makes itself known with trumpets and fireworks. But when real magic is combined with the magic of storytelling, it can change the world.This is a breathtaking debut novel written with elegance and grace.
